A must-have accessory for stalking anglers on night fishing expeditions, or anyone whose angling involves the cover of darkness, or the low light of dawn or dusk, and demands a stealthy approach, the subtly stylish Tacktikka RGB hybrid headlamp from Petzl makes a great gift idea, or an affordable way to treat yourself.
Designed to ensure you can maintain a stealthy approach without impacting your natural night vision, this head torch gives you a full choice of beam patterns, and up to 250 lumens of brightness. Setting the beam for proximity, which gives you clear sight without spooking your quarry, movement, which amplifies your natural night vision to help you detect movement in or around the water – for anglers, the feeding habits of birds and wildlife can tell you a lot about where you’re likely to find fish – or distance vision, which gives you a wide-ranging view of the bankside, means that you can optimise the brightness settings, so that you’re able to see what you’re doing clearly, but nothing occurs which may spook the prime specimen you’ve spent an hour or more stalking to an accessible spot that you can cast to easily.
The desert camo head band accentuates the stealthy style and subtle approach that this headtorch is designed for, giving a comfortable fit that you can easily wear all night long. With single button operation making this an exceptional simple night fishing essential, the choice of whether to invest in an angling accessory has never been simpler. Angling demands that your hands a free, which rules out holding a standard torch, but night fishing, which can be the most productive time for many coarse species, is impossible without some source of light close at hand, allowing you to pick up patterns of movement on the water, and see what you’re doing when you’re tying up rigs or setting hooks.
Powered by either three standard batteries, which are supplied with the head torch, or a Core rechargeable battery, which you would need to purchase separately, Petzl’s Tactikka RGB 250 Head Torch is the lighting solution for active anglers on night fishing expeditions, or those who are heading out in evening dusk, or the pre-dawn of early morning. Whether you’re coarse fishing, targeting carp on commercial venues, heading out on the predator trail, or fishing the late tide from a coastal mark, this head torch is one angling accessory you won’t want to be without.
